I thought about used Altec's but went with GPA 416-8c's and GPA-399-8A's and used my Altec 902-8T's that I removed the caps and put felt on the back plates and crossed over 416 to 399 at 500hz and 399 to 902 at 7000hz and built a 5.65 cu. ft. box tuned to 35 hz. I used Fatial LTH142 horns for mids and B&C ME-10 horns for tweeters.

The GPA drivers are really not that expensive compared to used drivers.

I am happy with the results.

I would use GPA 416-8c and GPA 902 with 811 horns and get the correct crossovers to extend the highs.

They say the GPA416-8c sounds more like the 416b than the original Altec 416-8c.

The GPA 416-8c in a 19 cabinet should go plenty low with a little upper hump at 40hz.

Just my opinion.
